Hey!!!! tough draw is for the players who have to play with you. You´re the best and all your fans will be watching and giving you good vibes. I know this is the first GS and everybody has a special expectation for it but just play your tennis and enjoy the matches, in other words be yourself on court and mesmerize us with your great tennis. Good luck in your first match!!! Regards from Peru.
